Decks · Kensington

Why Kensington homeowners hire us.

A Kensington deck inside the town takes town approval before the county application is filed.

Kensington is a town, census place 2443500, so the town median applies: $943,500, margin of error $48,966, 451 owner-occupied units, a 50.5 percent owner share, and a median year built of 1959.

A Kensington property in a common-ownership community should contact that community about its own process, and that contact is not the Montgomery County permit. The Kensington deck price is a free written estimate after a site walk of the parcel.

For this area, see Permits in Montgomery County: what to expect.

Town approval first

Check the Kensington boundary map for the parcel before the town approval and the later county application are sequenced.

Questions about decks in Kensington

What order does a Kensington deck follow?+

A Kensington parcel inside the town takes town approval before the Montgomery County application. That order on the county municipalities list groups Kensington with Barnesville, Brookeville, Chevy Chase Village, Laytonsville, Poolesville, Takoma Park, the Village of Drummond, and Washington Grove.

How does Town Hall describe a Kensington building permit?+

The town resident FAQ says a building permit is needed in most cases, and Town Hall staff are who to ask which type applies. The resident FAQ lists Town Hall hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Whether a Kensington house is inside the town limits is checked on the town boundary map, and Town Hall is the contact when the map is unclear.

Deck permit + HOA steps

  • Montgomery County does not enforce covenants or deed restrictions, so a DPS permit is not HOA approval. Check with your association before you build.
